Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
MSc in Biomedical Engineering and DFSS Green Belt certified, currently serving as Senior Quality Engineer at Medtronic and enrolled in the Executive MBA at HEC Lausanne (UNIL). I bring nearly a decade of experience across R&D and manufacturing quality, with a strong track record in leading cross-functional programs that enhance product quality, manufacturability, and operational efficiency. Professional expertise: - Quality & Risk Management - Manufacturing process & equipment Validation - Program & Project Management - Data-Driven Problem Solving
Medtronic Europe, Swiss Medtronic Operations (SMO), Tolochenaz, Switzerland As a quality representative for pre-market projects, I am responsible of the quality and compliance work package for new product introduction (AIMD IPG and ICD) during design transfer to manufacturing. I also supported CAPAs, 483-related activities and EUMDR technical documentation gap assessment. In addition to the quality role, I’m co-responsible at site level of a corporate program (Design for reliability and manufacturability) which aims to improve product and process reliability by promoting technical excellence and rigor across product lifecycle.
Medtronic Europe, Swiss Medtronic Operations (SMO), Tolochenaz, Switzerland I was responsible for the characterization via DRM methodology of manufacturing processes such as: epoxy preparation, epoxy dispense and surface finishing. I was also in charge of different validation activities such as: feasibility study for new equipment acquisition, test method validation, equipment qualification, WI update, CQ and CT training on analysis of manufacturing holds.
The aim of the project was to introduce a novel approach for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) classification integrating new measures of dynamic functional connectivity and advanced statistical/mathematical (machine learning) methods. I identified specific pattern of functional connectivity as capable to discriminate between a group of MCI patients and healthy control subjects. Thanks to the good classification performance, this new approach had great potential for the difficult early characterization of this disease.
I spent 18 months at EPFL as exchange student (Swiss-European Mobility Program), performing courses, semester projects and the master thesis project.
During the summer internship I was responsible of assembling, testing and characterizing prototypes for immunohistochemistry destined for their utilization at Lunaphore as well as at customers. I also assisted the application development team for prototype troubleshooting.
During the curricular internship I was responsible of the state-of-the-art analysis of sensing in bioreactors as well as of the early-stage development and definition of a new monitoring system of a device for dynamic cell culture.
